Lubbock County commissioners will consider this morning, March 24, adding new cameras in certain school zones to monitor speed.

Among other agenda items, the commissioners will swear in Carelton Peterson as new constable Precinct 4.

They will also consider proceeding with a recent decision by the county hospital board to purchase property at the intersection of 73rd Street and Milwaukee Avenue to build a new medical clinic and emergency medical services station.

The school zone cameras are a money grab, period. Heinrick touts it's not about the money but safety. Nice try Mark, but that pig don't fly.

Anytime, the County splits so-called revenues with an outside vendor, the vendor has one goal and it ain't safety. Channel 11 is airing an investigative report Monday night at 10:00 pm. Watch it.......

This is the same company that foisted redlight cameras on us a few years ago, not because of any safety issues, but because they, the company, were cleaning up, monetarily. In fact, it came to light that use of the redlight cameras was concurrent with an INCREASE in accidents.

Why should we buy into another scam from the same company?

Our school zones seem to be patroled adequately by the LPD already. A friend of mine told me he got a ticket in one just a few weeks ago. Let LPD do its job.

I agree with the above. Let LPD do it's job. Safety??? If someone wants to take a picture of something happening in this city all they have to do is pull out their cell phone. We do not have to business with camera companies to keep our children safe. Look forward to watch channel 11 to see them confirm what the citizens already know.

They contend the law applies only to municipalities and not counties. It's a money grab that Lubbock County Commissioners may embrace, but is it legal? Perhaps they should consult the Attorney General's office before they sign on the dotted line....
